Ocean Zones

When we first started the Ocean Unit, the students were taught that the ocean has four zones: the Sunlit, Twilight, Midnight (below called the Dark Zone), and Abyssal Zones.

I made a bulletin board in that classroom that illustrates these zones. As you know, each student is researching an ocean animal. They have illustrated their fish, mammal, or invertebrate and placed it on the bulletin board in the zone in which it lives.

 

I love having this visual as part of our classroom decor!

A Crabby Kind of Day

Friday Fun was filled with crabs today! In the kitchen, students made Crabby Crabwiches. Yum!

Students made crab hats. They loved walking like a crab in their new hats.

Students also made Oceans in a Bottle. They added water, oil, food coloring, sparkles, and shells to a water bottle to make the illusion of ocean waves.

It was a perfect day before a big break. Have a wonderful Spring Break!
